Fun in the Snow

I’m a country girl. I grew up in the country and we hope to get back out to it again soon. I grew up in farming country, where being called a redneck is actually taken as a compliment. Rednecks, where I’m from, are considered hard working people who drive trucks, get dirty, play hard, hunt and keep their families. Most young men and men had trucks and big ones at that. The second thing they bought after purchasing their truck was a lift kit. I also grew up where there is a lot of snow.

Given all of this, when I saw the following, I was floored. These things are AWESOME. I can picture all the guys I went to high school with wanting these, getting rid of their snow mobiles (well . . . . no. putting them aside for a while) and taking these things out into the fields every weekend with too much beer in the beds of their trucks. They look like so much fun (not to mention incredibly useful).

That does look fun. My dad and uncle used to chain a carhood onto the back of their 4 wheeler and take us out onto frozen ponds and slide us around until we fell off. We tried it with a carseat once (the bench kind) and it started on fire from the friction and the padding.

“Redneck” toys are instruments of freedom and individual flourishing. Metrosexuals and urbanized sissies have no idea. But such eunuchs stand at the commanding heights of culture, telling us what we should consider embarrassing or childish or déclassé. This is a hugely corrupting influence of the PUAsphere that tilts them toward statism, political correctness (in all ways but sexual), and nihilism. They call it “poolside,” and this pussy posture will ultimately drive them into an alliance with the feminists.

I think it has a whole lot to do with the fact that women tend to be much more focused on hearth and home and men want to conquer what stands in their way. This guy just beat the hell out of snow. It’s awesome.

I should clarify that I never bought into some of the more radical aspects of feminism. I believed in all of the very subtle things and that women’s brains were essentially the same as men’s but I never bought the “woman can do anything a man can do” stuff. I wanted to believe it, mind you, but couldn’t. At some point, it was pointed out to me how men were really getting the short end of the stick.

Most of the credit goes to my husband. He’s a strong man. Having a strong man in my life made a lot of the more difficult truths much easier for me to see. Being given everything by feminism really makes women who follow it miss out on so much.

Without question. I have always been what most would consider submissive, but I didn’t understand it and I would rail against it from time to time. I couldn’t understand why my marriage was not like what we so often see on TV. My husband didn’t put up with any of it and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. The more submissive I became the more calm and contented I became. When I first learned about a woman’s natural submissiveness and what is means as a woman and to a marriage and I fully embraced it, I became more settled in who I am that I would have ever though possible. I struggle in trying to describe it without it coming across as completely cliche. The best word I can think of is serene. Not only was I more happy but we both then settled comfortably into our roles (as I was rarely pushing against my husbands authority) and our marriage has greatly improved.

Yes, that’s it. It is very difficult to describe. There’s nothing to really compare it to. Perhaps it’s meant to be that way. A beautiful gift given only to women with the courage to put their hope in God and follow His commands.

It *is* difficult to put into words. Serene describes the ‘feeling’ of it, but its more than a feeling. It’s a state. It’s the state of being exactly as you were meant to be. It’s a state of alignment rather than discord with the world/existence/life. It’s a state of utter Rightness.

And the amazing thing about being in this state is that it enables you to see more clearly whether other things in your life contribute to or clash with that alignment. It helps you to filter out the crap that before you would have tried to address by rationalization.

Once you have experienced this kind of clarity, no amount of screaming from the feminist camp could possibly sway you, because you have felt what’s like to live in Truth.

That is fantastic and I couldn’t agree with you more. You have an excellent way with words and I thank you for taking the time to comment here.

Though, here is what I have been thinking (I have been researching a submission and have been wanting to post on it for quite some time. Gathering my thoughts has proven difficult so this is helpful), if we wish women to understand submission, not what so many believe it to be, but what it is, we have to be able to explain it in a way that touches their feelings. Women understand feelings so well and submission feels wrong because it has been sold as fear and loss of control. I’ve never felt more in control in my life. How do you explain that to women who actually want it to be something horrible? I have ideas, I just need to get on them.

It’s the state of being exactly as you were meant to be. It’s a state of alignment rather than discord with the world/existence/life. It’s a state of utter Rightness.

The state of grace under providence. The men who fancy themselves gods violently reject the possibility of this state, and deep down, all men fancy themselves gods (which is why we were booted from the garden).

Women, in contrast, have a natural grace — what Stingray describes very well — to go with their more acute concupiscence. It’s too bad our culture has taken the good part of that truth, ignored the bad, and therefore began presuming women to be perfect and angelic.

You are repositories of grace. Men will kill and die for you, if we let them. Instead, we cut ourselves off from the divine, and women came tumbling off the pedestal.

This is a difficult balance to describe to the “manosphere.” They see any acknowledgment of this permanent beauty of women to be a sign of weakness, or beta compliments in search of reciprocation. But I am just describing the truth. And part of that truth, let’s not forget, is that women are capable of a more perfect evil than men.

Explaining submission to women who have a visceral aversion to what they (wrongly) think it is is a very difficult task indeed. I really look forward to your post on the topic, whenever it comes.

One of the biggest hurdles in convincing women is that they will always fall back on ‘that’s just you, I’m not built that way’. Genuine submission has been so long absent now in our society (hence, I think, the widespread lack of understanding of what religion actually is) that even if you can present it in a positive way, women are still not likely to think that it can be a widespread, much less universal, experience.

I think to get through to women you have to first create a ‘bond’ with them. It’s hard to do in writing, but if you can start out by giving them something to relate to, they will, in a sense, feel part of your herd and will *want* to agree with the rest of your ideas. This at least creates a more favourable mindset.

Ideally, you would be able to describe your experience as a woman pre-submission and delineate exactly how it felt discordant/powerless/frustrating. They would relate to that and would experience an immediate need to have the conjured feelings soothed.

Now they are linked to you through the relating experience and they actually feel the need for a solution right at that moment. Maintaining a ‘bonded’ tone, you now introduce them to the experience of genuine submission. Include a few simple changes they can incorporate right away so that they will be able to try it out while the feelings are still fresh.

Now, I don’t know about you but I haven’t really sat down and processed exactly how my previous aversion to submission affected me negatively. I know it did because I have felt the changes and have seen the positive effects on my life, but off the top of my head I have a hard time saying exactly how it was bad before. I think this needs to be done before we can start to convince other women.

Now, I don’t know about you but I haven’t really sat down and processed exactly how my previous aversion to submission affected me negatively.

I have thought about this and written about it some here. I have a few ideas to present as a post or two as well, but your right, the world is where it would be most affective. Also, I agree that the huge problem is women saying they just aren’t built like this. It would be fairly hard for me to show them that they are. I could probably demonstrate exactly how they do prefer submission, but the hamster is an incredibly powerful creature at these moments and breaking through him is nigh impossible. The best that can be hoped for is a planted seed. I wish I was better at this. I’m rather quiet around people I don’t know very well and women often find this odd. I need to work on this.

Also, Dalrock is having a conversation about submission right now if you are interested in reading/commenting there. His is a good site.

NAWALT, obvs. But what makes a woman’s capacity the “more perfect evil” is the insidious nature of it. Men tend to be straightforward and voluminous about their evil, genociding millions in the name of glory, for instance.

On the other hand, women, because of their blessing of grace, are better positioned to manipulate and connive men (and thereby themselves) into losing their souls. Eve’s foundational sin was exactly that. The woman has subtlety, and she uses persuasion, cajoling, Lady Macbethian tactics — the very tools of the devil himself. Men torture, murder, rape — but the typical male sin does not imperil his victim’s soul; whereas women have the power to shape men into angels or monsters, warriors of God or servants of evil, shaping the trajectory of his life toward salvation or damnation.

This spiritual sovereignty over men wasn’t good enough for diabolical feminism. They wanted direct, worldly power too. What does that say about the manifest evil of denying the sexual difference? We won’t recognize it because we are swimming in it, but, feminism is among the profoundest evils ever perpetrated. A century-long celebration of Eve in her universe-transforming wickedness.

Some modern pagans and quasi-pagans even celebrate the fall as somehow empowering! “Lilith Fair,” witch-worship, etc. The (literally) damned fools.
